For those of you who are huge movie geeks like I am, Wahlberg has blossomed into an excellent actor. He had no prior experience as an actor, having been in music, and made the transition seamlessly. Other than Ice Cube, I can't think of a musician who has transitioned into films seamlessly like Wahlberg did.

He’s certainly come a long way since Dirk Diggler.

He’s the same character in every role he plays: himself.
He often takes time off during filming and a cardboard cutout fills in. And often no one notices.

I know why women like him. I’d avoid any men who admitted liking him.

Especially after knowing that he has made no effort to find the elderly man that he beat and see how he is doing.

I like his acting and he does seem to have turned his life around for the better. But I don’t think he deserves a pardon. Is his victim willing to forgive him as well, I wonder?

I'd add Will Smith and Sinatra

Frank Sinatra did————and kept on singing also.

Wahlberg wasn’t much of a musician.

Here in Hollywood, I know dudes who were in the 2nd unit for Lone Survivor. He really was more pro-US military and is more appreciative of the armed forces. Not a lot of Freepers know this. And these guys work with phony celebs every day on the set.

He’s the real deal when he blasted Tom Cruise for being a pussy comparing his movies to real war.

I’d hesitate in considering that “Marky Mark” was a “musician.”
